Sample Cases

Assumptions

See Notes Below

This example shows a couple, both age 65, who own a $100,000 deferred annuity for which they paid $70,000 five years ago. The current renewal rate is 5%; the current income tax is 28%. Their taxable estate is currently over $600,000 and will continue to grow, resulting in a conservative 37% estate tax rate.

The couple cannot foresee needing this asset and are simply parking it tax-deferred to leave to their children.
